In democratic countries, whether you are the Prime Minister or the Interior Minister, your words carry weight.

You cannot simply brush them off by saying, "I said it"...

UK Home Secretary Suella Braverman is also in trouble over her remarks.

While the Minister's anti-immigrant views have found wide resonance in public opinion, her thoughts on the Israel-Palestine tension are shaking her seat.

The Minister had used harsh language regarding the pro-Palestine marches held in London, the capital of the UK, as they were across the world.

Braverman called the support marches "hate marches" and demanded that they be banned. However, the minister went so far that she suddenly drew the ire of the public.

She penned an article in The Times newspaper. In the article, she lashed out at the London police for not banning the support marches.

In the article, Braverman stated, "I do not believe that these marches are merely a cry for help for Gaza. They are an assertion of primacy by certain groups, particularly Islamists, of the kind we are more used to seeing in Northern Ireland."

Not stopping there, Braverman accused senior police officers of applying double standards by practicing positive discrimination when it comes to Palestinian protesters.

When the article was published, all hell broke loose in the country. Not only the opposition but also members of her own party reacted to the minister's tone. For two days, British newspapers have been slamming the minister, and calls for her resignation are being made.

Braverman is being criticized for fueling division among the public and demeaning the police.

The matter has reached such a dimension that the opposition has attacked Prime Minister Rishi Sunak through the minister.

Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, who is in the opposition, described the Prime Minister as 'weak', saying he lacked the courage to dismiss the Home Secretary.

The Prime Minister's Office announced that they had requested some changes to the article Braverman was to publish in the newspaper, but their warnings were not heeded.

Now, the British public is locked on to what will happen during the pro-Palestine march to be held on Saturday, November 11 (today).

It is unknown whether any negative incident will solidify the minister's seat, but it is a fact that Braverman will have more headaches because of these thoughts.
